Poetry Sunday ~ The Tree of Life



Matt. 12: 33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

The Tree of Life

The tree shivers in the cold
Standing erect it sways.
Branches bend in the wind
Stems reach out in praise.

The bark, it clings firmly
In a solid fashion
Forming a binding grip
of artistic passion.

The stem readies for growth
Gusts make them strong.
The weak will break and fall
The ones that don’t belong.

Not fastened to the root
The dead decide to wander
Much like that of man who
Leaves his life to squander.

Take heart in this message
That I have come to bear.
There is only one tree of life
That you should give great care.

The leaf will bring forth beauty
You will rise to its call
Unleashed is fruit and wisdom
That will rest again come fall.

Rev. 2: 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Tree of Life
(c) Joni Zipp

In the vision of my eyes,
I see the world in disguise
playing with the human emotion
like a child without a notion.

I scan the open field of dreams
everything clearer than it seems.
Wandering round in an enlightened state,
hoping my words don’t come to late.

Can you feel the life of you
within the world of confusion too?
Upon the doorway of mystical bliss
there is a lot I feel I miss.

The trees they prosper with each season,
some are wounded with good reason.
Getting stronger from each storm
within each branch about to form.

Life it takes us for a spin;
seasons strengthen us to win.
This world is one we all must commune
lets play our lives in angelic tune.

Sin will compromise our feat
sacrifice is our only mete.
When we serve the One who is True,
the tree of life will flow through you.
